Busting a Sag :)

Another day in the rubber-blubber suit and it started off no differently that the previous swim day in the wetsuit. This feeling of suffocating and choking, airway obstruction around the collar...ugghhh! I stopped, regrouped and headed back in to shallow waters. I stood there in the water for a minute fooling around with the suit, pulling and tugging, etc. Then, with one big tug, it happened. The reality that I haven't been wearing it correctly. Busting a sag is obviously not the correct way to wear a wetsuit. As I pulled the suit up further, it was instantaneous relief. The pressure in my chest area and legs diminished. It was as if the vice grip it had on me was gone. Voila'!

I got home after a successful short swim in the wetsuit and did some research. Lo' and behold, genuis! This has been my issue. I haven't been pulling it up in the crotch area enough. Hmmmph! LOL. Glad I figured this out before Saturday's 2-mile Lake Murray Dam Swim! :)
